US Airways - May 2014 - (Page 64)

Central Arkansas Fresh Southern Cuisine Little Rock has an unexpected level of culinary sophistication for a city just shy of 200,000 and ranks among "The Five Secret Foodie Cities" by Forbes Travel Guide. The burgeoning culinary scene includes down-home cooking and ﬁne dining with a focus on farm-to-table fare. A Southern agricultural background fuels an artisanal food movement as well. Sample the goodness for yourself at establishments like Boulevard Bread Company, Hillcrest Artisan Meats, Kent Walker Artisan Cheese, and Loblolly Creamery. Thirsty? Micro-breweries froth to the top in Little Rock. Look for Diamond Bear Brewery, Bosco's, Stone's Throw Brewing, and Vino's. Enjoy a tour and tasting at the state's ﬁrst legal distillery since Prohibition, Rock Town Distillery, which specializes in small-batch, handcrafted moonshine, whiskey, gin, rum, and vodka. More toasts are on the way with the opening of the Lost 40 Brewing Company later this year and, in North Little Rock, a Raimondo Winery tasting room. The Heart of Arkansas 64 MAY 2014 usairwaysmag.com A growing food-truck scene and food-related festivals celebrate a variety of ethnic foods (Cajun, Greek, Jewish, and Turkish, among others) and local dishes (cornbread, cheese dip, and eggnog). For a memorable evening that celebrates all things Southern, head to South on Main, a project by Oxford American magazine that includes a restaurant and performance venue - making it the place that takes Oxford American "from page to stage." Even with its healthy dose of big-city attractions, art, culture, and outdoor adventure - all with a dash of Southern ﬂair - Central Arkansas is still a hidden gem. But now that the secret's out, it certainly won't be for much longer. Little Rock Nine Testaments Statue http://www.usairwaysmag.com
